RUMOR THE MANY VOICED \ Ww ---- There was a rumor on the streets of Oshawa Monday merning that Gene Tunney, recent vic- tor in one of fistiana's periodic duels, had dropped dead, Reports later in the day de- clared that similar rumors, about the same time, had been afloat in New York city. Tunney is riding thie crest of popularity and numbers really like theybook-loving Marine, If he had stubbed his toe'it is likely that some- thing would have been released about it, His "death," like Mark Twain's as also reported by rumor, was 'very much exaggerated." But where do these rumors start? History itself has set down such curious alarms, Soldiers at the Front were constantly harassed by secret information, 'The Ger- mans had broken through at this or that point" or "The French had dealt a smashing blow here or there," \ There are people in England who will not believe yet that Russian soldiers did not pass through in great trainloads in August, 1914, many of them still shaking arctic snow out of their astonished whiskers, The news of Kitchener's death was followed by unending rumors of his being alive. There is no explaining rumor except on the classic basis, Homer depicted her as a sort ®f half-goddess. He added that she had a hundred months, CHALLENGE OF THE STRANGER In an address delivered at Rally Day Services in the Simcoe Street United Church on Sun- day, Mr. Carroll Anderson estimated that of six thousand newcomers to Oshawa recently, only ten per cent have taken active interest in Oshawa's church life, There is a challenge for the Churches of Oshawa in this statement and, more, an' op- portunity, With reference to the younger church. workers' efforts particularly, another harvest white for the reaping spreads before their devoted eyes, ) Yet, at the same time, the churches of Osh- awa are a challenge to the Stranger within its Gates. The Church doors are open, their bells invite to worship and service. There are good citi- zens who are not church members, but one of the surest roads to good citizenship is through good church membership. An affectation of modesty as regards church- es does not become any man or woman, stranger though either may be, who has ever before found happiness in being a working member of any Christian congregation. THE BOY SCOUTS Hardly a day goes by in which this paper's news columns do not have something worth- while to report about the Boy Scouts of the district and their work. Yesterday, the, Bowmanville Troop was re- ported as having taken over the weekly task of cultivating the flower beds and cutting the lawn in that town's hallowed memorial park. This has been going on for some time appar- ently. More, the Bowmanville Scouts never pass the Memorial Plot without picking up an: bits of waste paper or refuse that the thought- less may have thrown there. All these tasks are self-imposed and faithfullly carried out. A few days ago the names of the Boy Scouts and Canadian Girls in Training who rendered such splendid service in connection with the Red Cross Cottage at Lakeview Park were pub- splendor of such names. : Items such as these may not loom in the day's news with the emphasis of disaster by land or sea, or with the cynical horror of crime and depraved human nature at its worst. Yet such items are the most important of the world. They show that the heart of the world is sound.

BATTERSEA'S OXFORD BAGS (London Letter) They tell me that the Oxforc trousers, those amazingly wvolumin- ous garments that caused so muct comment about a year ago, have now gone quite out even at Cam bridge. The West tailors arc making their nether garments of : slightly wider cut than formerly but nothing even faintly resemblin: the original Oxford "bags." Anc now I note a really strange denote ment. Oxford "bags" were by non more scathingy, even oppfobrious ly, derided than by the "youthfu proletariat. Cat-calls pursued 'the first wearers if they ventured abroac in 'apm artisan suburb, and I know more than one sportsman who came to fisticuffs over them. But now. if you please.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1927 ---------------- < - tages if we stop to consider the figures of the occurrence of gall stones as found in wealthy and in poor individ- uals, In making examinations it was found that in the poor districts of London, the number of cases of gallstones dis- covered after death, was about three in every hundred, whereas in middle class districts it ran about 15 to 2§ per hundred, and in the wealthy dis- tricte even higher. And yet gall stones are found fre- quently in tramps. I believe that you can see at once that there are the two underlying causes of gall stones, that is the cat- ing of a great quantity of rich food, and lack of active work or exercise. That eating is a big factor was proy- en during the war when it was found that in one Russian hospital the num- ber of cases of gall stones was five times less in 1919 than in 1914, That exercise is a great preventive was proven by the fact that the number of patients under forty years of age before the war was 26° per cent. whereas after the war there was but I1 per cent., which suggests that those who were active during the war did not readily form stones, and fits in with the fact that gall stones are rare in soldiers. Stones are more frequently found in indoor workers and are rare in out- door laborers; they occupy in pet dogs, but are absent in wild animals, And the serious thing about this is that while only a small percentage nced perations you can sce at once that those that do, coming from the in- ictive and usually well fed class, do not make good subjects for operation. They ire usmally soft and often very much werweight., So whether we are rich or poor, are indoor or outdoor workers, ur chances of avoiding gall stones are greatly increased by a moderate diet, ind regular outdoor exercise. Further should it be necessary ur chances for a successful operation ire likewise greatly | to || undergo an operation for gall stones |[F3 increased, if we [|B have kept our bodies in good condition. || ture' which is impending since the farmer has found that even tractors and other motor jmplements on the farm cannot entirely take the place of the horse. Dr. Sigler further believes that "the horse has adjusted himself to the competition of the automobile," and that for certain kinds of work he will be supreme, in spite of motors. It's very com- forting to learn that, after all, we won't have to take the children to the zoo to look at a horse.

BRITISH METHODS (Kingsion Whig-Standard) Compared with twenty years ago here is much less drinking in Can- da today, but greater results can 10 doubt be accomplished by fur- her education)along the lines fol- owed out in the Old Country. That he liquor traffic will ever be cowm- letely wiped out is wo much w wpe, but by teaching the boys and Arls the eivl effect of alcoholic isuor drinking it can certainly be rought down to a minimum. DEAN INGE AGAIN (London Letter) The "Gloomy Dean" foreshadows he passing of Great Britain from he ranks of first magnitude among he powers of the world within the short space of the next 75 years. iis opinion is that "the véry small rea of Great Britain makes it in- vitable that we shall cease to be 'ne of ihe Great Powers of the vorld."" When we have passed into omfortable and highly-cultivated lotage. Deam Inge thinks that the eins of world power will be held wy the United States, the Latin Re- wldics of South America, and by tussia. Apparently the rise to pro- ninence of the iwo latter powers vill be brought about by their prev 'reative abilities, the Dean calling pecial attention to the Slavs' habit "multiplying ike rabbits." He 'owever, does not seem to take into weount the inherent indolence char- weteristic of the peoples of both hese lands. Fecundity among the 'born lazy" is not likely to lead to reatness, and the Briton need mot »e unduly fearful of becoming a »acknumber so long as he retains is grit and energy.
